She knew about military ranks. The medals on some of the people there dazzled her.
‘Why are those people so friendly toward Tang Hao?
‘Was everything that happened earlier because of him?’
She glanced at Tang Hao and became more shocked than ever.
‘How many more secrets does he have?’
“Comrade Tang Hao!”
The other people behind Old Master Zhou came to greet Tang Hao. Old Master Zhou introduced them one by one.
They slowly walked out of the hall while chatting and laughing.
Old Master Zhou and the others finally left the scene half an hour later.
Ling Wei stood at the entrance, watching the vehicles leave. She suddenly turned around and looked at Tang Hao.
Sunlight left a golden trail on her white wedding dress. She was stunningly beautiful.
The corners of her lips curled upward as she smiled sweetly. Her eyes narrowed like crescent moons.
Tang Hao was awestruck when he looked at her.
“Take me away!” She said with a smile.
“Ah?” Tang Hao was surprised again.
As far as he was concerned, she was safe now that the Song family had fallen from grace.
“I don’t want to go home now and face my family members… so that makes me homeless! Can you take me in, at least for one night?” She pursed her lips and put on a pitiful face.
Tang Hao was helpless.
“Alright!” He agreed.
She smiled mischievously, took a step forward, and held Tang Hao’s hand. “Let’s go home!”
She walked forward while pulling Tang Hao’s hand.
She suddenly remembered something and looked alarmed. “Right, that marriage cert…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. You can treat it as though it never happened,” Tang Hao said.
He had already gotten someone to deal with that.
“Oh! That’s good!’ Ling Wei was relieved.
They returned to the hall, got on the jeep, and drove away while everyone watched.
No one from the Ling family stopped them. Perhaps they felt guilty.
The two people rode on a private jet and returned to Provincial City.
Back at the apartment, Ling Wei could not wait to go inside. She looked around the place and said, “How nostalgic!
“Let’s go to the wet market!”
She went into the room, changed into a set of new clothes, and excitedly pulled Tang Hao out of the door.
They arrived at the wet market near the apartment.
“Uncle! Auntie! Long time no see!” She greeted each of the vendors.
“Oh, it’s the beautiful girl! I haven’t seen you for so long! You’ve grown prettier!”
The middle-aged men and women at the stalls smiled when they saw her.
They could never forget such a beautiful and courteous young woman.
The sun was setting when they returned, hand in hand.
Tang Hao covered the table with his dishes.
“Mm! I like this feeling!” She suddenly said as they were eating.
She smiled when she noticed that Tang Hao was looking at her.
Tang Hao was caught in a daze when he looked at her. He felt that they had gone back to those times in the past.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her happy face.
The grudge with the Song family was finally settled.
Chapter 459 - What’s Up With All the Fuss
Late at night.
A set of gentle footsteps walked down the corridor.
The room door opened. A figure sneaked in, got under the blankets, and hugged him.
She did not say anything, but her face clung to Tang Hao’s back. She felt at ease that way.
The night was silent.
“Hao… thank you for today!
“I thought you wouldn’t be coming! At that time… I felt that life has no meaning anymore, but you did come!”
She mumbled, and she hugged a little tighter.
“I’m so happy that you came to me! Really… I haven’t been happy like this for a very long time.
“I know that you already have someone else in your heart, and I don’t intend to overstay my welcome… if only you’ll allow me to create some fond memories of today.”
She got up and laid over Tang Hao’s body. Her eyes looked at Tang Hao obsessively.
When Tang Hao woke up the next morning, the scenes from the night before were still fresh in his mind.
He turned to his side and saw a peaceful sleeping face. Her lips were slightly curled upward into a smile.
He looked at the clock and saw that it was half-past six. He needed to get up.
The beautiful woman next to her sensed his movements. Her body trembled and her eyelashes fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes.
“What time is it? It’s still early…” She spoke groggily.
She opened her eyes as though she suddenly realized something.
She blushed when she looked at Tang Hao and remembered what they did in the night before.
“Don’t… Don’t think too much about it. Just treat it as a one-night stand or something. Ah! That’s how it is anyway!” Ling Wei stammered.
Her face blushed redder and redder.
Right after she was done grooming herself, she received a phone call from Uncle Ming.
“Please come home, Young Miss! The old master and the others miss you. They’ve finally admitted that they were wrong. Your brother is leaving overseas today. The family needs you to manage Tai An Group,” Uncle Ming said.
Ling Wei did not say anything.
“Old Master says that he won’t interfere in your relationships anymore, as long as you come back to manage Tai An Group! You can fall in love with whoever you want, and you can marry whoever you want.”
Ling Wei grunted. “They should’ve done that in the first place!”
Uncle Ming smiled. “All’s well that ends well, Young Miss. You can meet him whenever you like in the future, but the company needs a president at all times!”
Ling Wei softened. “Alright, alright, Uncle Ming. I’ll come home!”
“Yay! Alright, I’ll come and pick you up now.”
After the call ended, Uncle Ming arrived a little more than ten minutes later. He parked the car downstairs.
“I’ll be going!” Ling Wei said reluctantly as she stood at the doorway and looked at Tang Hao.
“I’ll send you downstairs!” Tang Hao said.
The two walked down the stairs, shoulder to shoulder.
“Young Miss!” Uncle Ming opened the car door and bowed.
Ling Wei took several steps forward but abruptly stopped. She turned around and hugged Tang Hao tightly.
“I’ll be President Ling once more the next time we meet!” She chuckled while whispering next to Tang Hao’s ear.
She let go of her arms, took several steps backward, waved at Tang Hao, and got into the car.
The car slowly drove out of the residential area.
Tang Hao stood there watching the car disappearing from view. He gently shook his head and returned home.
He looked at the time. It was about half-past seven. He could make it to the morning class.
“Whatever. I should go to university!” He mumbled.
He packed his books into his backpack and left the apartment.
He rode on the bus and got off at a stop near the university. He bought two stuffed jianbing with egg and sausage from a stall nearby.
He was not too particular about food. Even though he had eaten sea dragon meat and other rare delicacies, he nonetheless enjoyed eating street food like stuffed jianbing.
He was still dressed as his usual self: A white button-down shirt and jeans.
He walked toward the entrance of the university as he nibbled his food.
It was the rush hour before classes started. Throngs of people walked into the university, and many bicycles and cars were on
the road.
Tang Hao was rather inconspicuous as he walked among the crowd.
However, someone noticed him.
A few girls next to him stopped walking and looked at him excitedly. “It’s him! It’s really him! He’s here!” They shrieked.
“Wow! It’s really him! He’s so handsome!” They seemed starstruck.
Their shrieks garnered everyone’s attention. The other people turned around to look, and they shrieked too.
“Ah! It’s him! He’s here!”
“Oh my god, he’s back!”
The girls exclaimed as they rushed toward him. All of them had the same obsessed look on their faces.
Snap! Snap!
They lifted their phones and took photos and videos of Tang Hao.
“Wow! So handsome!”
As the commotion spread out, more and more girls, and even some boys, rushed to surround Tang Hao. The group became bigger and bigger and eventually blocked the university entrance.
Tang Hao froze in place. He was just about to put the stuffed jianbing in his mouth.
‘What the hell is going on?
‘This is ridiculous!’
Tang Hao was utterly blown away.
Chapter 460 - This Is Too Much
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hey! Have you heard? That guy is here!”
“Who?”
“You know, that guy! Tang Hao, the freshman! He’s rumored to be the beauty queen’s boyfriend. He’s been very popular recently!”
“What? He’s here? Where is he?”
“At the entrance!”
“Dammit, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Let’s go!”
Such conversations were happening in all corners of Z University. Many people were excited and rushed toward the entrance.
The news was spreading like wildfire across the entire campus.
“Hey, put away your book! Don’t you know? That big-timer is here! He’s at the entrance!”
A student shouted while running into a classroom.
The other students in the classroom were confused about whom he was referring to.
“Which big-timer?”
A girl said nonchalantly as she fiddled with her phone. “There are so many people who think they’re popular these days, but only a few of them can be considered big-timers. The rest are all boasts.”
“That’s right!” Someone agreed.
“Look at the time! Classes are starting in another ten minutes. The teacher will be here soon!” An ace student said seriously as he pushed his glasses.
The person gasped. “Ha, this one’s not a boast! He’s a true big-timer. It’s Tang Hao, the legend of Z University.”
The classroom fell silent once the name was mentioned.
Thud!
The girl dropped her phone on the desk, but she did not realize it. She was too stunned for words.
The other people also froze there.
The next moment, an uproar broke out in the classroom.
The students got up violently from their seats and looked incredibly excited. The girls’ eyes were sparkling.
“My idol! He’s finally here!”
“Wow! He’s finally decided to show up in school? Let’s go! I’m so excited to see him again!”
“Dammit, who cares about studying? I’m off to see the big-timer!”
They rushed out of the classroom.
While Tang Hao was away, his popularity among the students of Z University exploded.
He was a true big-timer!
No, he was not a big-timer but a legend!
Not only Tang Hao was a self-made rich person who started Haotian Co. Ltd., but he was also the rumored boyfriend of the beauty queen Liu Bingyao.
Tang Hao was quite popular because of those two reasons.
The incident that shocked the entire university was the incident a few days ago, during the spring outing.
Rumor had it that while they were at the Fragrant Cloud Mountain campgrounds, just when the sun rose and about a thousand students were about to board their buses…
A military helicopter appeared from the sky, and a beautiful girl in a military uniform jumped out of the helicopter and brought Tang Hao away.
What was more amazing was that the beautiful girl had called Tang Hao “Major Tang”.
The girl also said, “The Agency needs you!”, which also became a catchphrase.
There were multiple versions of rumors spreading in the university.
Such an incident would be hard to believe, but a thousand Z University students had witnessed it with their eyes.
The discussion boards of the university exploded after the news broke out.
Everyone at Z University knew about it, even the teachers and administrators.
Tang Hao immediately became a legend at Z University. He had become the hero of many male students, and also the dream lover of many female students.
Many other students rushed out of their classes toward the entrance.
It was a spectacular scene.
The entrance was packed with people, yet more and more people arrived.
The security guards at the entrance tried to control the crowd, but eventually, they gave up and joined in the crowd to see.
The line of cars stretched down the road. Most of them were teachers. They were shocked when they saw the scene.
They soon found out who was the center of attention and immediately understood.
Meanwhile, in the center of the crowd, Tang Hao was thoroughly dumbfounded.
He did not expect that incident at the campgrounds would cause such a big commotion.
He was not a celebrity nor an idol, so what was all the fuss about?
Very soon, he calmed down. He bit into his stuffed jianbing and started walking, “Excuse me! Coming through!”
“Ah, my idol! He looks so cool even when eating street food!” Someone exclaimed.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that.
‘Just what the hell is going on?
‘No, I’ve got to throw off these people and get inside.’
“Excuse me!” Tang Hao shouted and squeezed his way.
However, there were too many people in his way, and they were stretching their arms toward him.
“Hey, don’t grope me!”
“Hey, why are you pulling my shirt? Let me tell you, my shirt might not cost much, but you shouldn’t destroy it! Dammit, the buttons are falling off!”
Tang Hao shouted. He was thoroughly flustered.
The people became more excited when they heard him shout.
“Tang Hao, Tang Hao! I’m a journalist from the university newsletter. Can I ask you, do you really have an alternate identity? Where have you been for the past three days?”
A few people squeezed in front of Tang Hao, took out pocket recording devices, and shoved them toward Tang Hao’s mouth.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. He ignored them.
“Why aren’t you speaking, Tang Hao? Oh! Is it because your identity is top secret?”
The people did not give up.
‘Dammit, are you all idiots? If you know that it’s top-secret, then why are you still asking me about it?’
Tang Hao tucked his head in and squeezed his way forward. He cast a concealment spell on his face amid the chaos and finally managed to sneak out of the crowd.
“Hey! Where is he? Tang Hao is missing!”
The people at the back screamed.
Tang Hao found a secluded corner and sat down.
The stuffed jianbing was lost in the chaos. His clothes were also disheveled.
He straightened his clothes. As he looked toward the entrance, he began to fear for his life.
“It’s all because of that Mu girl. Her excessive gesture has brought me so much trouble!” He grumbled angrily.
However, his anger soon dissipated when he was reminded of her icy face.
